The hero who defeated Amitabh-Dharmendra, who was kicked by Rajesh Khanna, friendship broke, never worked together again

New Delhi. Rajesh Khanna’s stardom was such that people often started dreaming of making a career in acting after seeing him. You must have often heard many stories of Rajesh Khanna that he used to come late to the sets. Used to work as per his own wish. But in the year 1980, he gave such a kick to his close friend that he never worked with Rajesh Khanna again.

In the year 1980, Rajesh Khanna had worked in a film in which his close friend was his co-star. He hatched such a conspiracy with the director that his co-star became so angry that they never worked together again. The limit reached when he was apologizing to actor Rajesh Khanna on his knees and at that very moment Rajesh Khanna kicked him. He was quite shocked to see this.

That blockbuster of 2022, due to lack of money the director became the hero, 400 crores were collected at the box office.

When Rajesh Khanna kicked
It is about the film ‘Aanchal’ released in 1980, in which Rajesh Khanna, Rekha, Amol Palekar, Prem Chopra and Rakhi were seen in important roles. In the same film, in a scene, Rajesh Khanna had to kick Amol Palekar, but Amol was not ready for this scene, then Rajesh Khanna deceitfully told him that if you just apologize for choking, he would okay the scene in that. After talking to the director, Rajesh Khanna convinced Amol and made him agree for the scene. As soon as Amol sat down on his knees, he immediately kicked the actor. The scene was done ok. But Amol was so angry that both of them never worked together again.

Made a mark on the basis of innocent looks and acting
In the 80’s, there was a demand for action heroes like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha. The same simple looking actor Amol Palekar had created his own niche. Ordinary looking Amol Palekar earned name in Hindi cinema at a time when big stars were in demand in the Hindi film industry.

Gave competition to films like ‘Deewar’ and ‘Chupke-Chupke’
Amol’s acting talent was such that once Basu Chatterjee cast him in the film ‘Chhoti Si Baat’. At that time, Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra’s ‘Sholay’ was dominating the box office. In such a situation, there was a danger of Amol’s film becoming a hit. When Rajshree Production released the film, ‘Chhoti Si Baat’ gave tough competition to blockbuster films like ‘Sholay’, ‘Deewar’ and ‘Chupke-Chupke’. The film also received the Filmfare Award.
